Sure, let's fill in the blanks with "a/an" or "the" where appropriate:

i. This house is very nice. Has it got a garden?

• Explanation: "a" is used because we are referring to any garden that the house might have, not a specific or previously mentioned garden.

ii. It’s a beautiful day. Let’s sit in the garden.

• Explanation: "the" is used because we are referring to a specific garden, likely the garden associated with the place where we are currently located (e.g., the garden of the house or a known garden nearby).

iii. There isn’t an airport near where I live.

• Explanation: "an" is used because we are talking about the absence of any airport nearby, not a specific airport that has been previously mentioned or known.

iv. The nearest airport is 70 kms away.

• Explanation: "The" is used because we are specifying a particular airport as being the nearest one, and it is known to both the speaker and the listener.

v. I’m going away for a week in September.

• Explanation: "a" is used because we are referring to an unspecified week in September, not a specific week that has been previously mentioned.

In summary, the choice between "a/an" and "the" depends on whether we are referring to something specific (using "the") or something non-specific (using "a/an"). The context and familiarity with the noun being referred to determine which article to use in each sentence.
